rsDriver() in Rselenium doesn't work

Question

I have updated my r to latest version and I installed Rselenium again.

I try to use rsDriver but it has a problem with port 4567. Same like this

Error trace back:

rd <-rsDriver(verbose =TRUE, browser = 'phantomjs', version = "3.4.0")
checking Selenium Server versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking chromedriver versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking geckodriver versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
checking phantomjs versions:
BEGIN: PREDOWNLOAD
BEGIN: DOWNLOAD
BEGIN: POSTDOWNLOAD
Error in wdman::selenium(port = port, verbose = verbose, version = version,  : 
  Selenium server signals port = 4567 is already in use.

I don't know what else to try. Is there anything I can do?

if I try to run verbose=false I receive this error:

Selenium message:The driver executable does not exist: C:\Users\username\Documents

Error:   Summary: UnknownError
     Detail: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
     class: java.lang.IllegalStateException
     Further Details: run errorDetails method

The RSelenium exist in C:\Users\username\Documents\R\win-library\3.4\RSelenium and under this path C:\Users\username\Documents\R\win-library\3.4\wdman\yaml I see the seleniumserver.yml files

What is going wrong? I tried also a past version of R but again the problem is the same.

@jdharrison I tried a different option but the problem still exist — Dimisc

Sometimes it helps to change the number of the port... You can try whatever number... — Léo Henry

I experienced the same issue. My chrome version was newer than the available versions in Selenium. In the end it worked by installing firefox AND setting the chrome version on NULL.

 rs_driver <- rsDriver(browser = "firefox", 
                     chromever = NULL, 
                     verbose = FALSE, 
                     port = 4567L)

I experienced the same issue and set up the port manually:

rd = rsDriver(port = 4567L, browser = "chrome", version = "latest", chromever = "latest")
